Different portrait shooters have different approaches. Some have warm and collaborative relationships with the subjects, others treat them like a still life object. Both of these can lead to great images.

I suppose that my approach is somewhat in-between those extremes. I like people and getting to hear their stories, but I also like to be in charge of the picture. Hence, I will be friendly on set, but not TOO friendly.
